Kodaikanal Hotels

      Kodaikanal is one of most important hill resorts in South India.  Verdant hills and cool climes are the main attractions.  Ample trekking opportunity at least 2-3 days, more if you want to trek in the hills. Set among the gently sloping Palani Hills is the charming retreat of Kodaikanal, also called Kodai (6900 feet above see level).  This is one of India’s most beautiful hill stations frequented by tourists in large number right through the year.  The pride of Kodaikanal is the Kurinji flower which blossoms once in 12 years.
